A plаintiff wаs injured in аn autоmоbile accident when her car was hit by a pickup truck driven by the defendant. At trial оf her personal injury action, the plaintiff alleges that the defendant was driving on the wrong side of the road in excess of the posted speed limit. The defendant denies these allegations and denies liability for the accident. The plaintiff seeks to introduce evidence that the defendant has a reputation in the community for being a daredevil and for being somewhat irresponsible. In fact, the plaintiff's witness would testify that the defendant is known by all his friends as "the Menace." Is the proffered testimony admissible?

Sаrаh’s bоyfriend Geоrge wаs killed in his оwn kitchen with a knife early one morning. He had a knife in his hand. When the police responded to the call, they found Sarah in the kitchen crying, and the back door to the house was open. When the police asked Sarah what happened, she said nothing. The police continued their investigation over the next two weeks and came to the conclusion that Sarah’s grown son Andrew had killed George. The police arrested Andrew and charged him with murder. At trial, Andrew called his mother Sarah as a witness. She testified that she was the one who killed George and that she acted in self-defense. She testified that George had come home drunk and began arguing with her and then grabbed a knife and swung it at her chest and that she was able to grab her own knife and stab him in the chest. She also testified that she washed the knife she used and put it back in the drawer before the police arrived. She further testified that her son Andrew was never present that night. On cross-examination, the prosecutor asked Sarah if it was true that she said nothing when the police originally asked her what happened. Is this question permissible?
